My mental health the next day was a night and day difference. I cried of relief, even without a full back up plan.
I e definitely seen a difference in my physical health. I had a complete physical breakdown that lasted for months before. All I could do was barely go to work and crash when I got home. Mentally I’m not as bitter and resentful towards others.
That's kind of a complicated question. I would say it will definitely change your mental health, but it may not be apparent right away. At least in my case, after I left a toxic environment I still felt fairly out of it. I think I just picked up some defense mechanisms that took a while to shake. And every now and then I still feel anxious. So, yes, things will improve with your mental health, but it may not be like getting an instant result.
This rings true for me too. Had a couple real peaches in the past, two that took some time to shake off their toxic impact. My reaction to their toxicity was to be hesitant to take risks, which slowed my advancement for awhile. I healed though given a bit of time and working for some excellent people on teams that supported one another.
I would add the following: I’ve NEVER regretted distancing from a toxic manager, regardless of the way that distance was gained. Left a couple, got laid off from one, and was most probably managed out from under a third. This is over 3 decades of career; in between my managers were good ones.
